Border agents arrest 16 people on FBI’s terror watchlist at Mexico crossing. Biden’s kind of people. How long before the ones they didn’t catch start blowing shit up?
US Border Patrol agents stopped 16 people on the FBI’s terror watch list who illegally crossed into the country from Mexico, authorities said this week — with new data showing border arrests this year are on pace to surpass 2022’s record.
The total number of encounters at the US-Mexico for fiscal year 2023 is now 69 and will likely exceed the 98 encounters documented last fiscal year, according to data released by Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
Last month, agents at the southern border stopped 16 people who were on the FBI’s terror watch list, CBP said.
CBP’s Office of Field Operations has encountered 214 people on the Terrorist Screening Database at ports of entry at both the northern and southern border this fiscal year. During the fiscal year 2022, there were 380 apprehensions.
